Type: ChardonnayPrincipal varietal(s): Sauvignon Blanc

Perhaps tasted a year late, this Chardonnay lacked the zest and freshness so characteristic of the wines from this good producer. The 2000 Du Pratt displays butter and orange peel in the nose along with significant toasty oak. In the mouth a bit top-heavy and unfocused, with an oaky finish. Solid Chard but not memorable at this point. - HK 2003-02-19
